Every sale has a story
The right sale starts with the right conversation.
Selling property or settling an estate can feel complicated. David takes time to understand what you have, what you need to accomplish, and whether an auction is the right approach.
Talk through your options01
What could it bring?
An auction brings interested buyers together in a competitive setting. David can discuss the property, the market, and a practical sale strategy; no sale price can be guaranteed.
02
What happens to everything else?
Real estate and personal property can sometimes be planned together. David often helps coordinate remaining items; exact arrangements depend on the seller and auction agreement.
03
What will it cost?
Commissions, marketing, preparation, and other expenses depend on the property and agreed plan. Ask for a clear explanation of proposed terms before committing.
What we handle

Every property and every family is different. These are the situations Hayes Auctions can discuss with you.

The process
A clear path from first conversation to sale day.
There is no single formula for every seller. The first step is understanding your goals and the property involved.
01
Tell us what you have
Share the property, location, approximate timeline, and what you hope to accomplish. A conversation helps determine whether an auction may be a good fit.
02
Build a practical plan
Discuss the sale format, preparation, marketing, timing, commissions, expenses, and arrangements for remaining items before an agreement is made.
03
Bring buyers to the opportunity
Once agreed, the property is presented and marketed for the planned auction. Buyers can review details, photographs, terms, and bidding instructions.
